Welcome to EC! I don't know the normal steps from prison-to-reintegration, but it wouldn't surprise me if you have to start back at ground zero...which may mean Chez Ronald McDonald or a similar type of establishment. It's a crap job, no question, but if you can maintain it for a few months, and be a good employee, you'll probably start looking more employable to other people. Lex
I agree with Lex start at the bottom and work your way up, once you have proven yourself for a period of time, more people will look at you.
I also agree that a job at McDonald's is probably going to be the best stepping stone for you right now. I used to work at McDonald's for a couple years in high school and I honestly didn't think it was as bad as people make it out to be.
